Stretch goals

Ashes of Creation Kickstarter goals.[2]

Juegos de salón

Juegos de salón (tavern games) are games that are played in player-built taverns or in-node taverns.[5]. Some will be dice games, others will be card games; and some will be less savory.[6]

The idea behind the tavern games is to create another social interface. This is where players that are loving the RP aspect of MMORPGS- they want to walk into a tavern and meet new people and play games.[7] – Steven Sharif
  • These games will involve aspects of both chance and skill.[6]
  • They must be played between 2 or more people.[6]
  • Players will be able to wager in-game currency against other players.[6]
    • The developers are considering a secondary currency for tavern games that would enable purchase of cosmetic items through a secondary currency market.[7]
    • There may be a ladder system that contributes to gaining this currency based on placement on the ladder.[7]
    • The alternative is to use the regular currency (gold).[7]
  • A portion of the income from the game goes to the tavern owner or node.[5][6]
  • Parlor games will vary based on the predominant race of a node.[7][6][8]
  • There may be unique games that can be acquired through adventuring in the world.[7]
  • Tavern owners dictate the table cost of parlor games. The node's mayor dictates the tax rate that applies when money exchanges hands.[9][10]
When a player wants to engage in a game, they may sit at a table, and another player may sit down with them. At that point the gameplay layer for the mini game will open in a user interface window. Depending on the type of game.[10] – Steven Sharif

Juegos de salón were a Kickstarter stretch goal.[11]

Group mounts

Multi-passenger group mounts were unlocked during the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.[15][16]

  • These mounts will be elephant sized or larger.[17]
  • Group mounts will be rarer and more difficult to obtain than regular mounts.[18]
  • There will be a limit on the number of passengers (for each type of group mount).[18]
  • Specific weapons systems may exist on different riding points on group mounts.[18]

The group mount is gonna be a very difficult mount to achieve, but once achieved it's gonna be very fun and and pivotal in gameplay. So the idea there is to have them grand.[17] – Steven Sharif

Backer only weapon skins

Kickstarter backers will receive a unique weapon skin.[19]

  • Usable on all types of weapons.
  • Include subtle and tasteful glow/particle effects.

Enhanced naval content

Snapchat Sneakpeak, 2017-11-9.[21]

Naval content refers to content above and below the sea.[22][23]

Enhanced naval content was unlocked as part of the $1,500,000 Kickstarter stretch goal.[28]

There will not initially be naval content (such as a Dark Lake) in the Reino subterráneo, but this may be something that gets added in future expansions.[29]

There won't be class abilities that are specific to naval content, but some utility skills (such as underwater breathing) may be of some benefit.[30]

Backer only armor skin

All Kickstarter backers receive a unique armor skin set.[2]

El Reino Subterráneo

Alpha-0 Reino subterráneo environment.[31]

One of the aspects of the Lore behind the Tulnar was that in the pantheon of gods that exist- having foretold the future through the Goddess of Fate to the Goddess of Creation- these areas in the Underrealm were created in to allow for refuge for which the gods knew would be left behind that couldn't make it to Sanctus. So that was a pre-thought there in the creation of the Underrealm to facilitate that realm where refugees could seek.[32] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-0 Underrealm Sharptooth cat mob concept art.[31]

We plan to have the Underrealm really pervasive throughout the game itself, a part of the open world. It will introduce some unique elements such as the type of monsters you see, the type of crops you can grow and houses you can have.[33] – Steven Sharif

El Reino subterráneo es un entorno rico donde la bioluminiscencia abunda entre la fauna y la flora que allí convive. Estas cavernas profundas y valles subterráneos, ofrecen nuevos destinos para el desarrollo de civilizaciones. Llevar el sistema de nodos a las profundidades del mundo podría despertar a criaturas más oscuras que las de las superficie.[34]

  • Se calcula que el Reino Subterráneo tendrá un área de 100 km2.[35] No será un espacio adyacente a todo el mapa del mundo. Habrá zonas que estarán bloqueadas por abismos y otros accidentes geográficos.[36][37]
The expansiveness of the Underrealm itself is quite large. It does persist across across a lot of the playable game area that's above ground. So there are alternatives in the Underrealm for passages and traversal throughout the world.[38] – Steven Sharif
  • La ubicación de las entradas al Reino Subterráneo desde el mundo está ubicada alrededor de zonas de "cuello de botella" que existen en la superficie. Esto garantiza una serie de rutas alternativas subterráneas que pueden ser usadas por las caravanas, raids, y otras actividades de los jugadores.[36][37]
The Underrealm is intending to be bespoke segments of Underrealm territory that are available around areas of choke-point in the world map that are above ground, which are provided for caravan transit across the world. So those caravans as they're approaching these choke-points on land, they will have alternate route options to go down into the Underrealm and to try to traverse that space, as opposed to the choke-points.[36] – Steven Sharif
  • No todas las entradas al Reino subterráneo estarán abiertas todo el tiempo. Estas pueden variar dinámicamente (basadas en la fase del nodo) provocando que se abran nuevas rutas, pudiendo ser más o menos peligrosas.[37]
  • El Reino Subterráneo tiene especies acuáticas que viven en el interior de piscinas.[39]
They are not the most friendly.[39] – Steven Sharif

Backer only aquatic mount

Tidesnapper is an aquatic mount that has the ability to glide through the water.[42]

Organizaciones sociales

Gremio de comerciantes screenshot.[43]

Las organizaciones sociales son una forma mediante la cual los jugadores pueden interactuar con el mundo que les rodea de una manera diferente. Se trata de crear microcomunidades dentro del juego.[44]

The whole idea of these societies is that they are a mechanism for progression that do not have to rely on your level progression. These are different progression paths that players can participate in. If you don't want to leave a node in your gameplay experience and you want to find as much as you can do within that city, these offer those things. Now, some quests might take you outside of the city to you know hunt and pursue things, but you could also perfectly be a person that is a merchant and purchases them from other travelers instead of having to go do it yourself. We want to offer players a diverse method of progression; and these systems house those benefits.[46] – Steven Sharif
  • Las organizaciones sociales funcionan un poco como las facciones, pero sin las mecánicas de flagueo.[47]
Sometimes two organization's goals might not align with each other and there'll be conflict there, but it's not going to be like everybody in the Traders Guild is at war with everybody in the Thieves Guild.[47] – Jeffrey Bard
  • Las organizaciones sociales están dirigidas por PNJs, aunque habrá rangos que ciertos miembros podrán alcanzar y que les otorgarán cierta influencia sobre la organización.[48]

Backer only dye set

Dyes are one-time use items that apply a cosmetic color change across all dyeable items that are equipped on a player's character (paper-doll).[51][52][53]

  • Two dye channels are provided per character that together influence up to 50% of the gear that is equipped by that character.[51]
    • The first dye channel is for lower grade dyes that influence 10 to 20% of armor appearance on that character.[51]
    • The second dye channel is for higher tier dyes that influence up to 30% of armor appearance on that character.[51]
  • The original design allowed individual items to be dyed with different dyes.[52]
One of the things that we want to do- again talking about player agency- is we want to give them the ability to kind of change the appearance of their armor sets that they're wearing; and the way we've approached the dye solution is through a channeled system. We have a two channel dye system where the first channel is a lower grade dye that it has influence over between 10 to 20 percent of your overall armor appearance; and then the second channel dye is a higher tier dye that you have to acquire; and by doing so you can influence the remaining thirty percent- up to thirty percent of that armor appearance: So up to a total of fifty percent influence that can occur across all the pieces that you wear. Now one unique approach to the way we're doing this dye system is we're not allowing individual dyes to be applied on individual items, but instead we keep a cohesion across the set by applying that dye channel to your character; and when you equip a piece with your overall character it will assume that dye channel from your paper doll. So you apply the dyes to your character and when you equip a piece of item it will take that dye and it will influence the channel over that particular piece so that it comes into alignment. And what the reason that we're doing that is there's a lot of options with regards to customization for your character appearance, whether it be through transmog, through costumes, through mixing and matching sets and pieces that you can wear; and what we want to avoid is the rainbow effect where these pieces do not look good together and it creates the clown that's walking down the street.[51]

The Kickstarter dyes are sets of unique colors that are not obtainable by players who did not participate in Crowdfunding. These dyes are not usable as normal dyes are. Instead they are used to override the color of another dye obtained in game.[54]

  • They are assigned to a character from a user's account management page.[54]
  • They do not expire, so they may be used to continually override dye colors.[54]
  • Once a dye has been overridden it becomes a bound dye to that character, so the colors cannot be sold for in-game benefit.[54]
  • When an item is sold or transferred, color changes are reverted.[54]

New Underrealm race

Tulnar character model concept art of the three base influences.[55]

The Tulnar society has more of a caste like system, where based on what physical features you show, based on where your ancestry and lineage lie between the races that came together to make the Tulnar, kind of determines your order in that caste system to a degree. So when players get to create their characters and determine whether they are going to have heavy influences of reptilian, mammalian, humanoid; that's going to kind of determine their reception from NPCs as well when they interact with those Tulnar PCs.[56] – Steven Sharif

Reino subterráneo concept art.[34]

Los Tulnar (pronunciadoTull-nar[57][58]) son una raza jugable en Ashes of Creation.[59][60] Los Tulnar huyeron al Reino subterráneo para escapar de la corrupción que asoló Verra[61]

They're a combination of the leftover races, not just the leftover major race populations, but the leftover minor races as well; and that's what gives them their attributes that are bestial, or reptilian, humanoid; and that players can use sliders to influence the visual representation of. But in a similar fashion, their cultural markers are also going to be a combination of different influences, so they're very differently constructed culture than what is found in the other eight races.[64] – Steven Sharif
Were the Tulnar a result of corruption in their creation, or was it purely a kind of you know crossbreeding between the multiple minor and major races that existed in the Underrealm during the after the apocalypse? They are not a result of corruption. So there is no corruption that was that was taken into account during their creation.[68] – Steven Sharif

La raza de los Tulnar estará disponible para el Alpha-2. Concepts and early works are expected at that time.[70]

Backer only mount barding

Mount barding cosmetic reward for backing at the Leader of Men level.[71]

Mount barding (also referred to as Saddles) is armor for mounts in Ashes of Creation. Mount barding is similar in concept to player armor.[72]

  • The higher the level of barding, the better looking it will be.[72]
  • Barding will have multiple components that can be equipped. Each component will increase the stats of the mount, such as hit points and speed.[73][72]
  • Barding cosmetics can only be applied to mounts with barding cosmetic slots.[74]
  • Cosmetic skins may only be applied to barding/saddle items that are earned in-game.[75]
    • Barding skins can not be applied over a mount skin.[76]
    The mount skins are applied to the mount, and barding (think of it like an accessory appearance) can not be applied over the mount skin.[76] – Cody Peterson
    • Barding skins' appearance may differ depending on the type of mount.[74]

Backer only skill FX

Todos los patrocinadores de Kickstarter recibirán un conjunto de efectos de habilidad (FX).[77]

  • Incluye colores únicos y efectos adicionales para determinadas habilidades. Por ejemplo: Un mago con su habilidad de bola de fuego puede disparar una bola de llamas blancas abrasadoras en lugar de los colores habituales de esa habilidad.

Stock exchange

As nodes develop, player governments may open a Stock exchange (also called Stock markets and Sharemarkets) where players can buy and sell shares in Nodos, Gremios and Organizaciones sociales.[78][79]

  • There is no regulatory commission to restrict the purchase and sale of stocks.[80]

Crowdfunding guild rewards

Guild themed character cloaks were cosmetic rewards for backing at the Leader of Men level or higher in the Kickstarter and El verano de la financiación campaigns.[81]

Guild cloaks will work the same way that accessory appearances from the cosmetic packs work, in that they are applied to the item and take over that appearance. They can not be applied over costumes. [76] – Cody Peterson

Kickstarter/El verano de la financiación guild rewards[82] are assigned to a guild by the owner of the reward.[83]

  • Once assigned, the reward becomes an asset of that guild.[83]
  • Guild members that leave the guild no longer have access to the unique items of that guild.[83]

Crowdfunding mounts

Runic steed mount concept art by Jeff Delierre.

Kickstarter/El verano de la financiación mount rewards are obtained and utilized by applicable backers in the following way:[84]

  1. Basic mounts are obtained through an early quest that is available to all players in starting areas.
  2. Players assign cosmetic skins to a character on their account from the account management page.
  3. The skin can then be applied to change the appearance of the mount that was earned in game.
    • This does not remove the skin itself. It can be applied again to any other applicable mount in the future.
    • Players may remove the skin from a character and assign it to another character on their account.
    • Skins can only ever be active on one character and one mount.

The Dawnbreaker mount skin is used in a similar fashion as described, but is only applicable to a certain class of mounts. Aquatic mount skins, like the Tidesnapper, are also used in a similar fashion, but are only applicable to the aquatic class of mounts.[84]
